It is to be expected, aevunliup to ihini, that thre will be an vaing i f iiK!u from this time forward as a result of qu illation which has been eAectetl thus fur, although it is freely ai'ur.ittt-ii that the relief to be exptreieil will not be eat enough to aftord a fuuiuiatton for an material en largement of speculative or investment activity. The ir.iproveiiier.t of the Fed eral Reserve situation as illustrated in the last statement is regarded as en couraging nid only because of the stronger ratio of g.-ld to outstanding reserve obligations but also due to the falling- off of deposits ami notes which apparently indicates power of contrac tion to an unexpected degree. The re newal rate on call loans has pone rs low at 1 per cent, a considerable im provement over the rate which has ex isted during- the last three weeks. Meanwhile investment and develop ment enterprises are making but little headway and ate not likely to advance very materially until prices assume a more settled position. Many undertak ings which had been contemplate?! up to a short time ago have necessarily been laid aside pending the arrival of considerably quieter ami more normal prospects in the general business field. Foreign borrowers continue to be as desirous of securing accomodation in the United States as heretofore, al though the rate of interest which is being charged them is not materially lower than that which has prevailed heretofore. The most careful observ ers have now set next spring as the ap proximate time for revival and im provement of business conditions. From Clews Financial Review. Our War Debt Cut In Half. When a fellow pays his income tax. or excess profits tax, or pays a big; im port tax on some nice fat luxury he is getting from abroad, he at least has the satisfaction of knowine that he is help ing the country to reduce its big debt rapidly and thus take that load, any way, off of the back of our dear Miss Prosperity. Idd you know that nearly half of America's war cost had already ben paid? Exclusive of the ten billion dol lars we baned the allies, the war cost this country almost exactly 2 billions of dollars- During the war and since, 13 2-8 billions have been paid off. You and the rest of us have achieved this ha'.'Kf.rne result by the taxes we paid Nothirg can weigh down a country like an inordinate public debt. This nation now owes, including the ten bil li'Tis the allies borowed from us, some thing over 22 billions. If we can get that down to five millions in the next 11 or 1' years, it wil not only be a fine acr:r:;.!ihrnentt but it will be far bet ter for the country and everybody in it. On the oiher hand, the allies expect to pay y interest on the ten billions we loaned then. In case the rate of in-tce-t is at least 5 per cent it might be -.vp!1 for that part of the debt to re- rrp'n f'-r a certain period. It's a good ! thing to be a creditor country and we j the unquiet grave, who now occupied sho;':ri r-M be carrying- the cost of that i the throne, would be seized with a vio- : v i.'.av - 1 fcs.l 2 laff this evening be e I wAj so amoostM at pa & ma h liv-t to arsurintr & ja sot the beat .if it. ma not ao j--- . .

Quaint Legend of Old Japan Basis of "The Willow Tree" Itoyal Headache Besrlne and Nipponese Maiden's Sacrifice Bads Story in Which Viola Dana Is Starred. Viola Tana, the dainty star of "The Willow Tree." the new Screen Classic, Inc.. production, was told recently the legend on which the delightful fantasy by J. H. r.enrimo and Harrison Rhodes was founded. George Shimamoto, the landscape gardener of the Metro studios and a Japanese himself, was Miss Dana's informant, and the tale had to do with how the headache of an ancient emperor of Japan caused thousands of temples to be erected to Buddha, as a piopitiatory offering for having caused the destruction of a certain willow tree. The legend has been handed down by .Inpanese priests, according to Mr. Shimamoto, who recount the story of an emperor who died and was burled, :ind how the roots of the willow tree near his grave mingled with his skele eton. The willow tree was of enormous aize, and whenever the wind blew hard it would moan and tremble like a liv ing man. The trembling would then become so great as to reach ,down Into the very roots of the tree or perhaps it originated at the roots and reached ;p but the son of the dead emperor of DAY WORK I do day work at fifty cents an hour anywhere in town.

The condition of things continued, much t the distress and mystification of the sovereign and his subjects, until one day a fortune teller was consulted, who offered an explanation. The occult one at once connected the moaning and trembling of the willow tree with the emperor's headache, and the emperor ordered that the tree be cut down at once.
